Hostelworld says:
Eight Elephants and Dreaming Dragon Hostel is located just down the street from a metro going all across Taipei City, making it easy to explore from here. Hostelworld guests have told us this hostel is perfect 'if you're looking for a homey, comfortable, good value-for-your-money type of place' and that 'the beautiful staff have put in a lot of heart and thought into the accommodation', offering 'great stories and advice'. It's no wonder they were rated #1 in Taiwan at the 2009 Hoscars.

We've noticed that a lot of our guests come back to visit again and again and we think it's because they feel a part of our family. This place is definitely more than just a hostel. Our staff are passionate and we're more than happy to be your first friend in Taipei.

There's no reception area but we've got a comfy lounge where you can hang out with our staff and fellow travellers in a relaxed atmosphere. We especially love music around here and hope you do, too-we've got a guitar, ukulele and piano and there's always music playing here. You can even be our DJ if you want!
Thursdays we have a movie night and there are always other irregular events, too, with waffle parties, dinners, drinking sessions and dancing. We really work hard to make guests feel welcomed.Hostelworld Guests Say
Truly one of the best places I have ever stayed in my whole life. The staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. Together with the great location and great facilities I really started seeing Eight Elephants as my own home in Taipei. Whenever I go back to Taipei, I would stay at this hostel over and over again.

Latest Review
I was a bit disappointed by my stay in the Eight Elephants Hospital. I was confused as to who was staff and who was actually 'on duty'. Apart from the person on clean-up duty in the morning most seemed to be enjoying down-time on a lap-top in the common area. I also didn't understand why non-guests would be in the common area which seemed to be the norm. I want to meet other travelers in hostels not friends of staff or local residents just hanging out. I'd give it 2 out of 5.
